Cover Reveal: Lancaster House and The Middle Aisle by Taylor Dean

I love my OLD covers. (Pictured on the left.) I really do. They're different from the norm and that's why they captured my attention.

For Lancaster House, I liked the idea of a hand reaching out from the grave. It seemed appropriate to the story; Andre reaches out to Zoe from beyond the grave. It was Carrie-like and kind of creepy.

There's just one problem.

This is not a horror novel. Not at all. This is a paranormal romance. People who like horror are drawn to the cover and are sadly disappointed when they realize it's a romance.

People who love paranormal romance are turned off by the cover because it looks too creepy.

In other words, the cover just wasn't working.

I love The Middle Aisle cover because it matched Lancaster House so perfectly. And part of the story takes place in Monterey, California. Monterey is known for its Cypress trees. The tree on the cover of The Middle Aisle reminded me of a Cypress tree and seemed perfect.

But, if the right people aren't reading the first book, no one will ever read the second one no matter what the cover looks like!

Bam! Decision made!

It was time for new covers for Lancaster House and The Middle Aisle! I love the new covers because they speak so perfectly as to what's on the inside.

Taylor Dean lives in Texas and is the mother of four grown children. Upon finding herself with an empty nest, she began to write the stories that were always wandering around in her head, quickly finding she had a passion for writing, specifically romance. Whether it’s paranormal, contemporary, or suspense—you’ll find all sub-genres of clean romance in her line-up.

About Me

I'm a married, stay at home momma with a lot of free time on my hands...or I guess I WOULD have a lot of free time if I wasn't ALWAYS READING!! Love my books!! <3 I can normally be found on my porch swing with my coffee & Kindle in hand. I normally read Romance, Bikers/MC (my fave), NA, Romance, Contemporary, Erotica, Sports Romance, and stuff like that. I've read SOME fantasy, but not a lot. I don't get down with the vampires, zombies, ghosts, demons (an Angel here or there I can handle though), Sci Fy or historical stuff. I'm a blogger & reviewer and I love it!
